(sigh)...Another Friday...
Once again, for the nth time, I've been posting at 10:00 because of my art classes...
Today in class, I modified my Selection Assignments to make them more professional and appropriate and when I went to print the Code, the printer was out of paper. I asked the supply teacher if I could go to the library to print the Code, because the previous night, my printer had run out of ink while I was printing my English Assignment (17 pages double-sided). At the library, all the computers were taken and the librarian (Ms. Waybrant) told me to go to the main office and restock on blank sheets of paper. I got a new package of paper, but when I returned and printed my 8 pages, I found that the printer had run out of ink! After my INTENSE journey, I still did not print my modified Selection Assignments yet!!! This weekend, my printer will be restocked with ink so I'll print it out at home...
Today, I partially "cleaned my website" as I did not have enough time to complete the refinement of every Web page because of my "journey"...
however...
The long English Assignment has officially ended (received full marks of course), meaning that I am now free to work on the Repetition Assignments!
I'll have plenty of time over the weekend, wait, NO!!!!!!
I have 4 more classes, 2 hours to review for an outside of school exam, a 1 hour conference meeting to discuss the details pertaining to the trip to China for my orchestra, and HALLOWEEN!!! of course, I won't go trick or treating (I'll just snag my brother's treats)...

YAY!!!
I got a level 4 on my quiz!!!
Since I have already finished all the Selection Assignments, I really don't have much homework for tonight...
I won't start the Repetition Assignments yet because I have a huge English Project due tomorrow and I am going to have to work 3-4 hours to finish it, so for today, I'm not going to work on anything really...

shoot...
The Quiz was pretty simple, yet I think that I did not do as well as I could have done because of some small errors...
First off, I included the if, then, else, and end if in the output section and not the processing section, so I probably lost some marks there...
Secondly, I didn't really use emhasis colour because my pen was black and I had no markers. I wrote in cursive (whew) and I bolded keywords using my pencil, but my variables did not stand out (I should have just printed variables) and my comments were the same...
Thirdly, I was deciding on whether or not to use constants (e.g LATE_START_DAY := 10:00) but decided against it after I re-read the instructions, which stated to create a SIMPLE program...
Then again, it doesn't really matter what mark I got, because the whole purpose of the quiz was to see if I knew the concepts of selection and that's what matters the most...

SECOND DOUBLE POST AS OF YET...
okay, I am only posting right now because I have finished all my Selection Assignments...
Tuesday October 26th, 2010
Today was the last day for Cross Country and from now on, I'll never miss any more class time until the winter season starts...
I don't really have any catching up to do, as I have finished the first 11 selection assignments with no problems. I have started question 12 and 13 and they aren't that hard, so I might finish all the assignments by tonight...
Anyways, I have to review for tomorrow's POSSIBLE POP QUIZ, because Class C had a quiz today so I'm only guessing that we'll have one tomorrow.
Tomorrow, I have ICS first period and I'll have to make sure that I won't be late...

Today was pretty easy in terms of work. I have started the Selections Assignment and finished the first 5 questions, however, the next 8 are going to be challenging becuase they require a LOT of ifs and thens and elses and it's very confusing.
My first priority for tonight is to finish my English Homework, becuase I have already finished my ICS Homework for today (2 mini assignments and blog). If I have time, I'll desk check my work, but because I have the next day off, I can desk check my work tomorrow at the cross country meet (it's supposed to rain...)
That's all...

Today was pretty hectic and easy at the same time. For lunch, my friends and I went to Pizza Pizza because this week only, you can get a medium pizza for 5 dollars. We got there at 11:50 and waited until 12:05 to order. I got my pizza at 12:20 and got back to school at 12:28 while eating it at the same time, so I still made it in time for ICS however, half my pizza is still in my locker and I'll have to eat it later...
Today, since I already finished my Input Assignments, I am currently working on the Selection Assignments and I have finished the first one. By the end of the weekend, I hope to finish most of the Selection Assignments...

SORRY FOR BEING LATE TODAY MR. ARKIN!!! I SWEAR THAT IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN!!!
okay, so I was a tad late for ICS today because the bus came earlier than usual and the next bus came 10 minutes after, so I was scheduled to be at school at 8:35, but ended up arriving at 8:45, which of course, is unacceptable...
Today, we went over the first four input assignments. I had no trouble with them at home, however, now I need to change question 3 because previously I had set 2010 as a declared constant, however, now I'll change it into a variable and prompt the user to provide the current year. Aside from that, I have no other problems...
That's all for today...

whew...
Today, I received my mark for my Superpower Autobiography, and to be honest, I wasn't satisfied with a 37/50. I found that I had lost 3 marks for incorrect use of headings, which I admit was my mistake, but I also lost 6 marks for the link section. I received no points for my links, though I included 7 external links in my autobiography. I confirmed my work with students who received marks for their links, and they are the same (e.g. <a href=" "> </a>), yet I did not receive any marks for it. I only had 1 true internal links on my page, so I definetely lost a mark there, but I think that I could get some more marks for embedded links, link text appropriate, and external links numerous. Regardless, I think that I did not do as well as I thought I could.
Anyways, I'll leave that for when Mr. Arkin individually checks mine again, so hoepfully, I might be able to bump my mediocre mark (which was the average) up a bit.
Moving on now...
As I stated in my previous post, I completed all the Turing Input Assignments.
For today, I'm going to study for a quiz in which I KNOW will occur in the following week...

YES!!!
Today, for cross country, I came in 8th in our region and our grade 9 boys team came in 2nd in our region, meaning that next Tuesday, we're going to Etobicoke for the city championships and miss another day of school :(
Anyways, I've already finished questions 1-5 excluding question 4. For question 4, I've added a lot of variables so now, the program asks for a starting and ending month, day, and hour, however, I cannot get the arithmetic correct. The database for the variables are all integers, but when I subtract the start day from the end day and multipy that number by 24 (hours) so that I can add that number to the difference in hours that the user provides me to find the total hours it took to reach that many kilometres, the product of 24*the number of days does not appear. Furthermore, I cannot think of a way to express the difference between the number of months (some months have 31 days, 30, or 28) but I think that I'll cross the month part out so that my program will only ask for the difference in days and hours...

YES...
Today, I finished questions 1, 2, 3, and 5 in 1 hour and they all work perfectly, however, I can't really get 4 to work, but I'll spend tonight attempting to fix it.
Every other assignment doesn't seem that difficult and I'll finish them by the end of tomorrow...
Oh yeah!
I also have to start my programming glossary
Cya :)

Once again, I am posting at 10 because I just arrived home at 9:30, which is why I hate Fridays because of my extracurriculars...
Today, my class (B), was pretty lucky as we didn't have enough time to cover "get" and thus we do not have to complete the input assignment for the weekend...but I'll do it anyways because it shouldn't be that difficult and I'll have the time to do it...
Over the weekend, I'm going to review the Operator, Programming Guidelines, and Documentation Template and take notes for all three, as well as complete 2 more immensely detailed sketches, begin my debate moderator script, edit summaries, and trace Egyptian hieroglyphics for English...
On top of all that, I'll have to finish my outside of school work (Chinese, Theory, and Orchestra)...
This weekend is going to be tiresome and overloaded with work, but hey, its IB...

YAY!!!
I just managed to finish the asterisk assignment in 2 minutes and deleted the final blank row on the run window on my first try with ..!
I'm going to work on english now, and later, I will review the variables and input pages and take notes...
Because we need to use subject dividers, I'll have to create a NEW table of contents to fit everything and sort everything so that it's more organized.
Sadly, tomorrow's Friday...

Today has been EXTREMELY HECTIC!!!
I am posting at 9:21 and my eyes are drooping...
Today, I had a cross-country meet at Centennial Park, Etobicoke. We got on the bus at 5:20 and arrived at VP at 6:30. I arrived home at 7:00 and started my ICS work at 8 after dinner and a bath.
Currently, I have finished my homework, but I still need to review the Subprograms and that's about it...
However, I am extremely tired right now, so I'm not sure if I'll get it finished...

whoops
I forgot to post on Friday because I got home really late after classes, but we partied the whole class so I guess that there's nothing that I could really have written about.
I've been writing in cursive for a long time and hopefully, I'm getting better at it...
Today, I'm going to start creating a Programming Glossary because Mr. Arkin has hinted that we will eventually create one...
and I'm going to finish the output assignment that we were assigned...
That's all for today!

not much work for tonight...
I just downloaded Turing onto my computer and it works...
Now I just need to write down the definitions of the new vocabulary and continue to find pictures for my glossary...
That's it...
TOMORROW IT'S TIME TO PARTY BABY!!!

wow...
Today , we learned the binary code, which I had already reviewed last year. The class was pretty easy because I already knew about what we were learning and I didn't need to panic...
Previously, I had posted my Basic Computer Glossary pictures on the web page and today, I learned that we were only supposed to <em>find</em> images. I finished my other glossary a few days ago, so today, i am just going to add my definitions in...

Once again, I've spent 2 hours on the computer again typing up my glossaries and finding images. Today, while I was validating my Basic Glossary, I received 125 errors!!!Yes, 125!!!however it took me less than 5 minutes to fix all of them. As i am typing, I have finished my homework for today, which also included searching up DVD and CRT...
By tomorrow night, hopefully all my glossaries should be completed...
